* SmallRoleBigImpact: His failure at Jieting which caused the stop of the first Northern Campaign pretty much killed the last chance Shu has of defeating Wei post-Fan Castle. Subsequent Northern Campaigns never surpassed the level of success the first one had which subsequently took a toll on Zhuge Liang's health due to being overworked from having to lead multiple times, resulting his death in Wu Zhang Plains and sealing Shu's fate.

** ''9'' subverts this. While he's still eventually betraying Guan Yu, he's not very smug about it and when the Wu side was convincing him, he makes mention that he's got a wife and children to feed at his home.

* ObnoxiousInLaws: Rarely mentioned, but he is actually Liu Bei's brother-in-law because his sister is Liu Bei's second wife. Then again, this trope is (possible) averted because he has no qualms on his brother-in-law. His grudge is towards Guan Yu, not Liu Bei.[[note]]Although historically it's also possible that he held a grudge on Liu Bei for abandoning her with Guan Yu when Cao Cao invaded them in Xu Province.[[/note]]

* AdaptationalKarma: In history, he evaded execution from Deng Ai after the Fall of Shu (by bribing Deng's men). In the novel, he is executed by Sima Zhao who learned of his reputation. In the games, [[spoiler:it's the Shu officer present in Chapter 13 (Xingcai, Jiang Wei and even Liu Shan) themselves who uncovers his treachery and executes him]].

* AdaptationalVillainy: In the novel, he surrenders to Wu due to Guan Yu's [[MistreatmentInducedBetrayal mistreatment]]. He's also eventually [[RegretfulTraitor regretful]] and even attempted to return Shu after killing Ma Zhong (the Wu general who captured Guan Yu in ambush) and bringing his head as a bargaining chip to Liu Bei. Liu Bei [[ThisIsUnforgivable had none of it]] and [[KarmicDeath had Guan Xing executed him]]. In the games, not only he betrays Guan Yu for (usually) petty reason (if any), but he's also unrepentant.

* DeathByAdaptation: It's unknown what happened to him historically after his defection, but it's quite possible that he got KarmaHoudini and remains in Wu for the rest of his life. In the games, he can either be killed during Fan Castle, Yiling, or dies offscreen sometime between the two battles (like his novel counterpart).

* AscendedExtra: Downplayed. For someone who has a great culpability of the downfall of Shu, Huang Hao was actually non-existant in earlier ''Dynasty Warriors'' games, since they never covered the events after Wuzhang Plains (even in Jiang Wei's Legend Stage in ''[=DW4XL=]'' which was about Shu's last line of defense, he's still nonexistant or even mentioned). When events after Wuzhang plains were covered since ''7'', Huang Hao was a complete generic officer since the side of Shu during Jiang Wei's Northern Campaign were only seen from Jin's perspective. Only in ''9'' that Huang Hao ascended to have a unique role in the late Shu's downfall... albeit still having a generic strategist model.

* HistoricalVillainDowngrade: Historical records and the novel holds him responsible for bringing down Shu to its downfall due to his manipulation on Liu Shan and selfishness. As as NPC, he is often seen fighting against Sima Zhao's forces particularly during the Battle of Chengdu. In ''9'' where he is given more prominence still as a generic NPC, he actually has some reasons on why he opposes Jiang Wei's Northern Campaign as he points that the Shu forces are still unable to push the Wei forces and that many resources had been wasted on the futile campaign.

* HistoricalVillainUpgrade: Partially because of Guan Yu's HistoricalHeroUpgrade, so we aren't mean to sympathize with him in the games where he's depicted as smug and unrepentant traitor. Historically, he betrayed Guan Yu due to being mistreated and got convinced by Sun Quan (who was ''also'' pissed at Guan Yu for attacking his supply depot and Guan's [[{{Jerkass}} general insolence]] to him). Sure, he got KarmaHoudini and served Wu from then on for the rest of his life [[YouCantGoHomeAgain for obvious reasons]] but his reputation was quite ruined that caused his brother Mi Zhu to die of illness and, according to an account, during his servitude in Wu he was occasionally ridiculed by Yu Fan (an official of Wu) [[note]]Although it's Yu Fan we're talking about here, guy's known for being an asshole to basically everyone.[[/note]] for his defection.
